Pathway of Blood

The flow of deoxygentated blood through the heart is

• Vena Cava - right atrium - right ventricle - pulmonary artery

• Vena Cava - right ventricle - right atrium - pulmonary artery

• Pulmonary vein - left ventricle - left atrium - aorta

• Pulmonary vein - left atrium - left ventricle - aorta

Blood enters the heart from the body through the

• Pulmonary vein

• Pulmonary artery

• Vena cava

• Aorta

Blood leaves the heart to the lungs through the

• pulmonary artery

• pulmonary vein

• vena cava

• aorta

The pulmonary vein

• Carries deoxygenated blood

• Carries blood away from the heart

• carries blood back to the right side of the heart from the body

• carries blood back to the left side of the heart from the lung

Start at the​ (a)   . Then through the right atrium and into the tricuspid valve. Into the right ​ (b)  

and into the pulmonary valve. From there you travel into the pulmonary artery and into the ​ (c)   . Blood is oxygenated and travels into the left atrium, left ventricle, and into the ​ (d)   and finally to ​ (e)  

• Superior Vena Cava

• ventricle

• lungs

• aorta

• the rest of the body

Which shows the correct pathway of oxygenated blood entering and leaving the heart?

• Pulmonary vein > left atrium > left ventricle > aorta

• Pulmonary vein > left atrium > right ventricle > aorta

• Vena cava > right atrium > right ventricle > pulmonary artery

• Vena cava > right atrium > left ventricle > pulmonary artery

Which of the following pathways describes the flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back?

• Systemic circulation

• Pulmonary circulation

• Coronary circulation

• Lymphatic circulation

After the left atrium, where does blood go?

After the left ventricle, where does blood go?

Which statement is true about systemic circulation in the cardiovascular system?

• Systemic circulation moves deoxygenated blood to the lungs through veins.

• Systemic circulation moves blood from the lower body to the upper body only.

• Systemic circulation is the transport of oxygenated blood to the body

• Systemic circulation includes pathways for transporting blood to and from the lungs for nutrient transport.
